I'd just joined from the M27 J3 roundabout and a blue 182 came firing round the outside of me, not so closely followed by a silver non-1*2. I would've joined in, but I was giving my Mum a lift back from the airport and she's not the racing type :(

Whilst removing the airbox today I found the inlect duct needs replacing. Is there a better alternative to the rigid wound fabric one, or shall I just get a like for like replacement. It would seem that a flexible hose would be better... opinions?

Whilst trying to find a rattle over the weekend I found that the two brackets that are fixed to the bottom of the air con condenser, which hold it in place, have both snapped. This means the condenser is only attached at the top, leaving the bottom half to swing backwards and forwards, banging...

I think I've got a bad earth somewhere. When I reverse, my fog light comes on and my indicator sort of comes on, and apparently when I brake and indicate, the brake light dims when the indicator flashes. The wiring diagram in the haynes manual indicates a possible problem with earth location...

Whilst under the car yesterday, trying to find the source of a rattle, I found the two fixings at the bottom of the radiator that hold it in place have both broken. This means its swinging backwards and forwards and clanging everytime it does. Not sure if this is the cause of the noise or not...

Just had new Eiback sportlines fitted to the 172, serious amount of clunking when turning on or near full lock on either side. Mate told me they will do this for a short time while they're 'settling in'. There's a bit of clearance between the rubber in the top mounts and the chassis now, and if...

You'd just had some guy in a van push in front of you as you were queing on the dual carriage way off of the motorway exit into town, I was going the opposite way towards the airport. Exactly the same car as mine, don't think you saw me though....

I'm working my way through the advisories, most are easily remedied but not really got a clue on this one. Obviously not a failure, but I get a knock if I pull the car round into full lock on either side, and i'd like to put this right before it develops into something more serious. I'm...

Is this a common problem, or does anyone know what if anything I can do to get rid of it? It's like a misty scum, appears to be on the inside....

I've seen an 03 reg 172 Cup, got service history (stamped every 12k), currently done 69k but not had Cam belt done. Comes with a years MOT, but no tax. Got the dealer down to £2500, but he won't go any more. Looks nice and tidy, but at 8 years old and approaching 72k, the major service is...
